AYUTTHAYA, 10 Feb 2015, A museum showcasing precious wood will is being built in Ayutthaya Province, using the rosewoods logs confiscated from illegal logging rings.
Yesterday, officials from the Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, the Department of Customs, and the Department of Public Relations witnessed the construction process, ensuring all of the logs would only be used for the purpose.
According to the department, the construction of the museum closely follows the blueprint drawn up by the Department of Fine Arts, which determines the amount of rosewood logs to be used in the project.
Teak logs would be used as the main body of the museum, while the rosewood would likely be carved into decorated items, the department said.
Officials said the confiscated rosewood logs for the project are now in Wangnoi District in Ayutthaya.
